Capture a few forts or a fortress, and you’ve </p> +<p style="top:80.6pt;left:393.8pt;font-size:11.4pt">compensated in victory points for a lot of raiding. But until you </p> +<p style="top:94.4pt;left:393.8pt;font-size:11.4pt">have decent leaders and superior numbers of drilled troops, it will </p> +<p style="top:108.1pt;left:393.8pt;font-size:11.4pt">be easy enough for the French to react to your offensive.

If the French don’t demolish it, its value in </p> +<p style="top:332.4pt;left:393.8pt;font-size:11.4pt">points is the same as Montréal or Québec; if they do, you’ve won a </p> +<p style="top:346.1pt;left:393.8pt;font-size:11.4pt">bloodless victory. Moreover, British occupation of Ohio Forks usu-</p> +<p style="top:359.9pt;left:393.8pt;font-size:11.4pt">ally will eliminate the raiding problem in the South.
